The item can stay outside but you may experience a quick drain on the battery and interrupted service if it is wireless. If a wired doorbell, it may ring if the temperature get really cold.

As a result, Ring devices may have their performance affected by the cold. This article will tell you why this happens and offer some suggestions on what to do about it: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042686872-Cold-Weather-and-Battery-Powered-Ring-Cameras. The following are key temperatures to watch out for in regard to your batteries. 36°F (3°C): The battery may not hold a charge as effectively, resulting in you having to charge the unit more frequently. 32°F (0°C): The battery may not charge at all. Even hardwired configurations may not charge the battery. -5°F (-20.5°C): The battery may stop working completely until temperatures warm up.
